The form gathers site-specific information on existing green infrastructure, features removed or requiring removal, and how retained features will be protected (e.g., BS5837:2012). It also captures mitigation planting, landscaping to enhance green infrastructure, and ongoing management. A biodiversity enhancement section records measures that achieve a net benefit for biodiversity, supported by sketch plans and site photos.","GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE STATEMENT & BIODIVERSITY ENHANCEMENT SCHEME\nTemplate for householder applications and other small developments.\nComplete the boxes in this form and include with your planning application.\nRefer to the accompanying guidance note for site-specific information.\nQ. What is a Green Infrastructure (GI) Statement?\nA Green Infrastructure Statement describes how the green infrastructure of a site (trees, hedges, and SuDs) has been incorporated into the development proposal.\nQ. Why do I need a Green Infrastructure Statement?\nA GI Statement is required on all developments following PPW12, and the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 Section 6 duty to show that development has a net benefit to biodiversity and green infrastructure. This information is not appropriate to seek ‘retrospectively’ by way of a condition and must be provided as part of the planning application process.\nQ. What detail is required in the Green Infrastructure Statement?\nA Green Infrastructure Statement is to be proportionate to the scale and nature of the development, and in the case of minor development such as householder applications, PPW12 states that this should not be an onerous requirement for applicants.\nQ. What is a Biodiversity Enhancement Scheme?\nTo comply with Section 6 of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016, this Authority requires that proposed developments also include details of biodiversity enhancement measures as well as Green Infrastructure enhancements.\nThese don’t need to be costly or large in scale, and could include bird boxes, insect boxes and the planting of native shrubs or flowers suitable for bees and other pollinations in the garden.\nQ. How do I provide the information?\nTo assist in providing the information that this authority requires, the following form can be completed to provide the specific Green Infrastructure details that relate to each step your proposed development.\nDetails of all existing green infrastructure (trees, hedges and hedgebanks) on site:\nWhat green infrastructure features have already been removed from site and/or require removal to facilitate the development?\nHow are the retained features being protected during development (i.e. BS5837:2012)?\nWhat green infrastructure is being planted as mitigation for losses?\nWhat Landscaping is being planted to enhance Green Infrastructure?\nHow will the new planting be managed and/or maintained?\nBiodiversity enhancements\nThese enhancements do not need to be directly attached to the proposed new construction; they can be attached to the host dwelling or placed within the garden, but they do need to be on land within the red or blue line. The principle is that these enhancements will lead to a ‘net benefit’ for biodiversity.\nThe following biodiversity enhancements have been added:\nConclusion\nBased on the information provided above, this development will result in a Green Infrastructure Net Benefit upon completion.\nSketch plan (Insert plan showing the features of the development site):\nSite photos (as required)","cbCainrEtzZhGaZR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainrEtzZhGaZR","docx",1784724,4,"English","en",105,"# Green Infrastructure Statement & Biodiversity Enhancement Scheme\n## What is a Green Infrastructure (GI) Statement?\n## Why do I need a Green Infrastructure Statement?\n## What detail is required?\n## What is a Biodiversity Enhancement Scheme?\n## How do I provide the information?\n## Biodiversity enhancements\n## Conclusion\n## Sketch plan and site photos","[{\"question\":\"What is a Green Infrastructure (GI) Statement and what does it cover?\",\"answer\":\"A Green Infrastructure Statement explains how a site’s green infrastructure (such as trees, hedges, and SuDs) has been incorporated into the development proposal.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is a GI Statement required for planning applications?\",\"answer\":\"It is required for developments following PPW12 and the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 Section 6 duty to demonstrate a net benefit to biodiversity and green infrastructure as part of the planning process.\"},{\"question\":\"What information must be included in the form for small (householder) developments?\",\"answer\":\"The form requests details of existing green infrastructure, any features removed or requiring removal, protection of retained features (e.g., BS5837:2012), mitigation planting, landscaping, and how new planting will be managed and maintained, plus biodiversity enhancement measures on land within the red or blue line.\"}]","Green Infrastructure Statement & Biodiversity Enhancement Scheme -
